jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as home demarcation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it creates task for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
